You can't buy talent but you can buy span

identical start and finish time.
I can't compaere their traces.
Did the long wing glider sacrifice to help the shorter wing glider ?

Perhaps as two they are strong than as one. I see the long wingers have
the top three spots, just as it should be

You can buy performance, but it takes finesse, skill, knowledge to fly a long winger. Where they shine is one can effectively dolphin fly and when you have 20-30 miles to go glide to get to the next lift source, the long wingers can reach out.
